S. planned an average army of 179,000 men this fiscal year. President Roosevelt's "limited emergency boosted it to 227,000. Thus, throughout the nation, recruiting officers are trying to raise their quotas, anxious foi es yet particular whom they take. These quotas show what a recruit may expect. Above: An officer, having cornered two prot pects, takes them back to the office for further discussion. "Strong back" soldiers are not wanted; the army needs intelligent men. L.t. j i Recruits are given forms to fill out. If over 21, parents' consent is not needed. Applicants between 18 and 21 must have their par-ents' consent. From all, the army demands character references. Physical examinations come next, and after enlistment medical officers are constantly looking after the soldier's health.

Even quartermaster corps men learn first to be soldiers before starting their special training. Within a few months these raw recruits will be seasoned soldiers, ready to choose their career in the army which Uncle Sam hopes will be one of peace. F"MWTfrMWy v.V.aajva ....

THE WAR IN BRIEF Unorthodox warfare continued on the western front, original positions being assumed after Nazis forced aged Turkish formition of a neutral bloc, using what some observers called poor stratey by apparently neglecting to consult Italy. While the Reich wooed Rumania, Turkey and Hungary by threats, Britain was more subtle. Under consideration at London were trade pacts to assure the neutrality of Sweden, Netherlands, Finland, Lat-via, Turkey and Russia. To soothe the latter nation, Chamberlain agreed that Dictator Josef Stalin's Invasion of Poland had been neces-sary for protection against Ger-man aggression. Russia continued negotiations with Finland, but their nature remained mysterious. Finnish Foreign MIn- - ' I '' , :, ... the French to relinquish early gains.

Some observers believed Russian d-emands on Finland KlUuLniUUr next 8prinlf Scornful Three solid days of rainfall left trenches half-fille-d with water and stranded the highly touted mechanized artillery. Then came snow and sleet. Diplomatic activity continued at top speed, far overshadowing the actual war. Turkey's new pact with Britain to guarantee the eastern Mediterranean was the source of all efforts, which resolved into a fran-tic scurrying among belligerents to line up neutrals. At Danzig, Ger-man Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop furnished divertisement by lashing it British Prime Minis-ter Neville Chamberlain for "break-ing promises." He also tried to drive a wedge between the allies by woo-ing France. Two days later Cham-berlain replied Just as scornfully.

MARINE: 'Flint Saga German seizure of the 5,000-to- n V. S. S. City of Flint bid fair to af-fect world commerce far more than all the 100-od- d vessels which bombs and torpedoes have sent to the bottom since November 1. Carrying contraband to Britain, the Flint was seized by Germany in taken first to Norway and then to Murmansk, Russia, where her American crew was reported safe. But the Soviet indicated Germany would get the ship, thereby reliev-ing Joseph Stalin of bickering with the U. S.

Obviously the Flint Incident put Russia on a spot. By releasing her to the American crew, Russia would snub an erstwhile ally, Germany. As it was, the Soviet Incurred U. S. skepticism. If Russia again offers haven to a neutral vessel seized by Germany, the Kremlin might well be asked to tell how she stands in 1939's war. There was a strong hint of her position in another Flint aftermath. At Moscow, British Ambassador Sir William Seeds was given a note rejecting Soviet recognition of Brit-ain's war contraband list because it violates international law and im-pairs neutral rights. Incredulous at sucn effrontery, a London spokes-man blurted: "Fantastic!" CONGRESS: Victory, Then What? If an isolationist fillibuster was really delaying action on the neu-trality bill, the City of Flint Incident (See MARINE) was enough to end it.

Against this background Trust Buster Thurman Arnold popped a new issue: In District of Columbia federal court the justice department filed complaints charging the Asso-ciation of American Railroads and 236 individual roads with violating the Sherman act The charge: That member roads refused to with motor carriers in hauling freight and passengers. Cause for action was an A. A. R. resolution of June 25, 1937, which declared public interest would be served "if railroads refrained from establishing with motor carriers through routes or Joint rates or fares which invade territory not served by such railroad and which is already served by one or more other railroads." In Washington, A. R. R.'s Presi-dent J. J. Pelley "welcomed the action in order that there may be once and for all . . . determined to what extent the railroads are per-mitted ... to declare sound poli-cies consistent with the public in-terest" rebuked the senate for being a "horse-an- d buggy outfit" battling solons called a truce to approve amendments (1) banning y credits to either belligerent nations or their residents and (2) lifting shipping restrictions against Ameri-can boats in the Pacific (except armament), Bermuda, New Bruns-wick, Nova Scotia, Tasmanian sea and Capetown. Rejected was an amendment to make President Roosevelt sole judge of the neces-sity for Invoking neutrality. There was good chance another amend-ment would pass: To forbid any bel-ligerent ship from flying the U. S. flag as defense against a foe. As early as two days before the senate's final vote, Isolationists Bor-ah and Nye conceded administration forces a two-third- s victory. But THE REICH BREAKS LOOSE Nazi raiders have broken Britain's North sea blockade to raid Atlantic shipping, and Britain cannot hunt them down without weakening her home de-fenses. Evidences of raiding: British liner Stone gate picked up torpedo vic-tims at (I), was then torpedoed her-self (2), probably by the Deutschland, which proceeded north to capture the U. S. S. City of Flint (3) and sail her to Tromsoe, Norway, (4) where Stone-gat- e passengers were dumped. City of Flint was then taken to Murmansk, Russia (S). In the heavily protected North sea (6) a convoyed Creek steam-er was sunk, while three British ves-sels went down 80 miles off Gibraltar (7). A French sub reported driving five Nazi raiders to an African port (8). the Flint, but few expected his next bold move. Berlin ordered a prize they were more hopeful about the house, where neutrality would run against pretty strong opposition. An attempt to invoke parliamentary rules (preventing amendments to the senate bill) was conceded little chance.

WHO'S NEWS THIS WEEK I I By LEMUEL F. PARTON YORK. In more than four NEW Louis M. Eilshemius made 5,000 paintings and drawings and never made a cent out of them. i Now ee big All Vanity Cries galleriel give Painter as Go exhibitions of .his work. One Garlands Arrive gan,ery j. re ported to have sold $150,000 worth of his paintings. All his canvases are in demand at high prices. But Mr. Eilshemius, an Irasci-ble little man with a ragged beard and a testy way of speak-ing, is bedridden in his gloomy, gaslit old house in East Fifty-seven-th street, and he asks, "What's the good of the whole damn thing?" He's 75 years old. He warned the world many times that it was going er down the skids, and now he thinks it's on the last stretch of the greased chute, and noth-ing else matters not even mon-ey and fame. The late Ralph Blakelock lost his mind after years of failure to stir critical or popular interest in his work. He was hailed as a great painter, and his pictures were bought by great galleries when he no longer knew or cared about money or recognition. There is an inter-esting parallel between his career and that of Mr. Eilshemius, although the latter is sti.ll bright and smart as a chipmunk. But he won't even look out of his narrow bedroom window. He wants no outlook on a world turning itself Into a madhouse. Pictures on the floor, covered with dust and cobwebs, may be worth a fortune, pictures of moods, dreams and memories, but that doesn't interest him. lie had renounced the "pomps and vanities of this wicked world" long before it beat a path to his door. The parallel between Blakelock and Eilshemius is also marked by the amazing diversity of their tal-ents.

Eilshemius has composed a small library of songs, operas and etudes and used to give piano con-certs in his youth. He painted fe-verishly for 46 years, quitting in 1922 when none would buy his pictures and no galleries hang them. But in his varied abilities, he far out-shone Blakelock. Here are a few of his achievements: When he was a student at Cornell university, he discovered a new spe-cies of ichneumon fly. Later he an-nounced a new law governing the "ramification of trees." He wrote somewhat more than 50 volumes of plays, novels, novelettes, essays and verse. The verse, By-ron- ic In tone, was written in Eng-lish, French, German, Italian and Spanish. He published them him-self and, like his pictures, they gath-ered only cobwebs and dust He Invented a new kind of "mag-ic" indelible ink and several studio devices for artists. He explored various diseases and offered methods of therapy. He was born in Laurel Hill, N. J., near Newark, the son of a wealthy glove manufacturer. He attended Cornell two years and was a room-mate of Robert W. Chambers in Paris when they were studying art under Boueereau. His is a bine-boo- k family, of Dutch antecedents, and his name is there inscribed, but that inter-ests him no more than the hang-ta- g of his pictures in the Metro-politan, the Luxembourg and the Whitney galleries.
